And the bathmate instructions suggest trying to remove more water every 5 minutes as well; which again suggests that there’s a point where no more water can be removed without further expansion.So I’m led to believe that the bathmate has a maximum vacuum pressure inherent in it’s design that it would not normally exceed. Whether or not that is 2 Hg I’m not sure because I can’t seem to find any information at the moment to corroborate that specific value.
Taken from the bathmate website:
“the design of the bellows (the rubber part of the Bathmate) does not allow you to exceed the negative pressure threshold of 0.4 bar.”

Incidentally, I’ve had mine for a year now, no problems. Started out with the Hercules model but will soon be going full time with the Goliath model.
Happy pumping!
